Beverage pairing: Beer: Abita Amber Wine - Tempranillo (Spain) Ground Moose Chili - When Fall trickles into Middle TN, I automatically think Chili, as many others do. It's good for the soul and warms one from the inside out. Thanks to Mr. Dan Hammond for the ground Moose, I was afforded the opportunity to create my own "Moose Chili" recipe. I prefer to give it 48 hours to sit in the refrigerator so all the spices can meld together. The flavors explode in your mouth whilst eating and that's the main reason people love this Chili.
